Is the treatment for neonatal cytomegalovirus infection good?

Patient's question:

Doctor. The baby was born not long ago, only two months old. The doctor said she has cytomegalovirus infection. What should we do? The whole family is desperate.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby does not have a fever, there is no need for treatment, because any antiviral medication can only suppress the virus but not eliminate it, so using it is meaningless. Of course, if you can rule out other causes of fever, you should actively treat it. The immune system of newborns is not yet fully developed, making them more susceptible to infections. This disease has a relatively high incidence rate among children. If you take your child to the hospital for treatment, it is acceptable. It is recommended to actively seek relevant examinations in regular hospitals, strictly follow medical advice, actively cooperate with treatment, and detect and treat it early.
